I Am Honored

Tonight I spent about twenty minutes on the phone with Kyle. I am honored that he would be attentive to my words. I have been his bus captain for almost 4 years. He will be 15 in October.

He called to let me know that he would be out of town this week and next week and would be unable to ride the bus. I am honored that his Mom pushes him to do what is right. (He lives in an out-of-the-way place and it takes time and extra gasoline to pick him up.)

He is special and I can't wait to see what God does with him. These young teens that are trying to do what is right with little encouragement are so exciting to me.

He has been unable to come now for several weeks as he has had many activities that took him from home. I expressed to him that I would be praying for him and that I would be glad when he could be faithful again. He was quite perturbed that I would think he was not faithful. Of course, I was referring to riding the bus faithfully. He explained that he was being faithful. He said that there was a girl that he liked a lot and she liked him but he refused to go with her because she doesn't believe in God. I think that is a BIG step for a 14 year old!!

Dear Lord, I pray for Kyle that you will make his salvation something real and vibrant in his life. Help him never be able to get away from all the things he has heard while riding the bus. Make him a witness for Your own glory! In Jesus name I pray!
